Thoroughly Good Time !!!!We had a thoroughly good weekend, really enjoyed the Festival, the bands, the festival site was great, the food choices. Enjoyed it so much we're coming again in 2018.
Downside - What a carry on getting into site Chaotic is an understatement, hope you're going to sort that out in 2018, after a long car journey having to sit in rows of traffic while 3 people worked their way down the lines of traffic checking tickets and then 4/5 lanes of traffic trying to fit through one entrance - MAD. . . sitting around in the heat didnt do much to help the mood in our car . . . . .
Also thought it would have been better if the camping had been allocated better and next to your car, its such a chore traipsing backwards and forwards to the car to collect your gear. Look at the Cambridge format; row of tents opposite your car, just takes a little more prep and positive direction to establish pattern then most sensible people will follow the pattern and wouldnt need too much supervision.

Not quite what I expectedNice size venue, only two stages so it was was easy to keep up with who was on and no overwhelming crowds! Event felt intimate without feeling small. Nice range of food stalls and some quality acts. With a name like Red Rooster I expected a Blues focus but the vast majority of acts I saw had a Country flavour (not my taste!) some Cajun/Zydeco which is more my thing but no blues at all while I was there. Still overall I enjoyed myself.

Red Rooster 2017A cool little family friendly festival that has a theme that would have once been called 'Roots'... Country, Blues, Folk with a little bit of Rock n Roll thrown in for good measure. Set in the grounds and woods surrounding Euston Hall in Suffolk, a beautiful venue, particularly as the weather was pretty good.
The layout of the festival itself was slightly odd.
Sitting towards the back of the area around the small stage the music could barely be heard above the sound of the main stage, you really needed to be at the front of this area to enjoy the entertainment. So I think a little more thought should be given to the layout of the stages.
I'm also not sure why the stalls selling the usual festival paraphernalia were out on a limb separated from the food area or any other walk way. You certainly wouldn't have been in a position whereby something would have caught your eye as you were passing. I suspect the stall holders were not best pleased with their location.
However my only real gripe was the main stage.
This is a small festival of probably around 1,500 - 2,000 people (on the Saturday), but the main stage is in a open sided circus style tent that holds about 3-400 people. This leaves the majority of the viewing crowd having to stand outside of the tent peering at the action, like a voyeur staring through a neighbours window. The sound quality was superb, but you only got to experience this at it's best if you managed force your way into the tent itself, something the majority of the crowd would never be able to do. The area around the main stage is in the middle of a very established wood, and is wonderful, but they really need a proper stage set-up that would enable all of the crowd to experience the bands properly.
So did enjoy my first visit to Red Rooster? Yes, there were more positives than negatives, but the main stage really needs to be sorted. Would I go next year? It would really depend on who was on, I certainly wouldn't buy the early bird tickets, released prior to the line-up.

Felt lilke a private party...and a cross between a festival and a feteReally inconspicuous fencing and security left you able to enjoy the truly stunning grounds and scenery. Such beautiful trees. Amazing atmosphere with great crowd & lots of families.
Never been to a festival that stayed so litter free throughout and that seemed to be down to the crowd. Wasn't sure how I'd like the music,coming more from the party scene but absolutely loved it, and the DJs were great too.
